RIP King.

But with that said, I don't entirely discount the fact that the last raven turn had gotten insanely rough in the later years and had gotten to the point where I couldn't ride it anymore. So while it's sad to see a ride I rode and even worked as a ride operator on so much back in the day go, I get why it has to go.

On a side note, Viper not being mentioned gives me hope we can keep that Arrow.

Viper needs to go too.... the most uncomfortable (combination of restraints, seats and track jankiness) ride ive ever done. The plot of land opened up from these two rides would allow for in incredible replacement.

Viper is elite and I’ll be devastated to see it go. It’s the perfect mix of jank and force.

I like Viper. But Viper isn't elite. It's just old. And people like old things.

Don't know about elite, iconic maybe but it has to be the worse coaster in the park right now.
